I’m pleased to see they’ve dropped the date and especially pleased to see they’ve dropped where it said date on the dial- that stopped me buying one before as it really got under my skin!

Looks good in the different colour ways;

**sigh** Old Radium.

I like the B&R vibe here, though. The panda is nice looking.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

The mountain range at the 12 on the three hander is a nice touch.

I am not usually a "but the name/logo" guy (see my non-complaints of Chris Ward), but for some reason the brand name and logo really bother me on this one. Really like the design of the three-hand otherwise, though.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Still don't like the logo and I'm getting kinda sick of fake old radium. But despite that I'm drawn to the look. And the pre-order prices aren't bad.
